China Airlines Flight 006 was a daily non-stop international passenger flight from Taipei to Los Angeles International Airport.On February 19, 1985, the Boeing 747SP operating the flight was involved in an aircraft upset accident, following the failure of the No. 4 engine, while cruising at 41,000 ft (12,500 m).
N747GE is a Boeing 747 aircraft that was used by General Electric Aircraft Engines (now known as GE Aerospace) as a testbed for several of the companies jet engines between 1992 and 2017, including the GE90 for the Boeing 777, at the time, the world’s largest jet engine.
N747PA was completed on February 28, 1969. Originally registered as N732PA, it was re-registered to N747PA early on. The aircraft was used by Boeing for flight testing before being delivered to Pan Am, which immediately sent it out on an extensive promotional tour across the United States and the rest of the world to showcase the 747 to the public.
The nose gear was taken from a Boeing 707 and rotated 180 degrees. This dropped the front of the aircraft slightly, levelling the cargo-bay floor and simplifying loading operations. In the early 1970s, two SGT aircraft were used by Airbus to transport airplane parts from production facilities to the final assembly plant in Toulouse.

The aft end of the interior of NASA's Boeing 747 Shuttle Carrier Aircraft.The aft pressure bulkhead is the white circular component; its web-like structure led a NASA technician to attach a large model spider to it for comedic effect.
It produces a nose-up pitching moment. Conversely, slats extend forwards from the upper surface of the leading edge. Conversely, slats extend forwards from the upper surface of the leading edge. Also, when deployed, Krueger flaps result in a much more pronounced blunt leading edge on the wing, helping to achieve better low-speed handling.
